[@danielbautista4757]

One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Thank you Judith for the wonderful memories.

[@danielbautista4757]

Voice of an angel. Rest in peace Judith Durham.

[@carolecarr5210]

Aren't we lucky to have videos of Judith singing so sweetly.

[@anthonyvann2202]

Without peer,the purest voice in Australian music history.

[@andyherd3070]

I’m not a religious guy, but if I can have this played at my funeral I will be smiling somewhere.

[@konewone361]

Likewise

[@JenniferKnappen]

She could sing anything, perfectly.

[@drjazzisme]

Oh my goodness,has anyone ever sung this better....its a fantastic powerful and moving version of a great gospel song,Ive heard many NO Jazz versions played and sung of this but none so brilliant,Judith was/is the very best...thankyou for posting.

[@Brissieskater1]

Her voice was truly heaven sent and as a nation, Australia has been truly blessed to call her our own.

[@stephaniebarr507]

Thank you Seekers one and all for bringing such joy and richness to my life. You will always be treasured in my heart.

[@garystotler3149]

Unbelievable! What an absolutely killer vioce. the angels will have to move over for her!

[@kelwright8418]

when you listen to singing like this....produced without the technical expertise we have today,it's beyond just 'good'. This woman's power and range are simply astonishing.

[@russtill403]

we will never here the likes of this angel again so enjoy folks,she always brings a tear with happiness .

[@gordonhickson7524]

Lovely singing lady

[@chip11sheff]

what a way to settle for the night with Judith's rich voice ringing in my ears

[@tomlaflamme2118]

This is one of the most aesome versions of this song Judith's voice is amazing

[@dons1118]

What a great version of this song. She has a great and soothing voice. I was always a Seekers fan. As as side note I am Jewish but the way she sings this is just great.

[@freezray1776]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@grimTales1]

Agree with that, certainly one of the finest voices I've ever heard - amazing performance.

[@stephaniebarr507]

Absolutely Top Notch. Best there is.

[@sniffrat3646]

that voice brings a tear to my eye

[@עופרישראלי]

What a great voice this lady has

[@grimTales1]

One of Judith's finest moments as a vocalist. There are many....

[@mabella3437]

so sad she never had children to pass on her Amazing Talents !! God bless you Judith & all the viewers !

[@filmic1]

I think this is the most beautiful arrangement I have heard. Thank you Seekers!

[@osvaldoschilling9129]

Just check the other rendition in kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4vLiqxnqdedrck Judith´s voice looks still stronger. Amazing...

[@lesreed9269]

Nice - but Patsy Cline does it for me...

[@carolynhughes8364]

theGarinator it’s beautiful but give Tennessee Ernie Ford a listen.

[@stewartfenton7660]

@@carolynhughes8364 huh?

[@philhugill8458]

I agree.......Plus I detect sincerity.....

[@applepie238]

fabulous judith just fabulous.xxx

[@TradeDoc]

She doubtless strengthened the faith of many, through this song alone. God bless you, Judith.

[@gregbuckenara8063]

The most ANGELIC of All Time.Thank you Judith Durham.

[@anneturner4709]

Such a beautiful voice she had. Just made the Seekers.

[@minnowpd]

When Judy sings the angels stop and listen.

[@frederickgreen3665]

Well said.

[@Hammy1962]

superb comment...

[@minnowpd]

@@Hammy1962 Her 'Waltzing matilda" is so ggod.

[@moseswwlee]

That’s right!

[@williamgunter6801]

Oh, the soul that woman had within her! Such a beautiful woman, inside and out. Such a strong spiritual presence.😊😊😊😊

[@osvaldoschilling9129]

This has to be one of the best performances of any singer in youtube. The power, the range, the brilliance in Judiths voice her stage presence are all unbelievable, and the male chorus follows.

[@grimTales1]

I'm an atheist (or at best agnostic) but I dont think you have to believe in a God to appreciate a voice such as this - this is just wonderful.

[@Chooselifealways51]

Praise Jesus!!

[@gregbuckenara8063]

AMEN.

[@wolfy62490]

@1953jamesh you're are right that,the first time i heard her singing [i'll never find another you] many years ago when i was just a boy i think my testicles dropped i've been in love withher voice ever since,never knew who she was or what she looked like until many years later but i'll never get her beautiful voice out of my head as long as i live

[@richardbarr8766]

This just splendid. Listen and let that voice and harmonies soak in. We will never see their like again.

[@BertHigginbottom]

Judith, I remember being a big fan of yours in the sixties and having most of your records, they've gone now, moving house three or four times etc but I've recently been introduced to you tube and I thought I'd look you up and see what I used to like all those years ago! . NOTHING since then has even got near your incredible sound and music, . Loved it then, still love it now.

[@ronica4803]

Sung from a place of faith. ❤

[@anemjoful]

Beautiful song from the Seekers.!

[@Pillboxesghost]

Magnificant! For me THE definitive rendition of this song

[@frederickgreen3665]

Class, beauty, talent to the nth degree.

[@stewgilb]

The sweetest voice on earth

[@rennyshelton]

My favorite gospel song just got better.

[@passion2221]

just beautiful......................

[@robertn556]

I find this song so spiritual and uplifting. Judith singing it makes it unsurpassable by any other singer, truly stunning, truly beautiful and truly amazing, that voice is heaven sent!!

[@larrymurphy3877]

No other place but Heaven could that voice come from.

[@rmstitanic8163]

What a voice., ❤️

[@michaelmelcher1130]

Beautiful version

[@jimmylouie3849]

Judith's strong vocal of this arrangement backed by the lads made this song a hit.

[@boonestead4812]

PROBABLY THE BEST COVER OF ALL AND SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE DO THIS SOME ARE GOOD BUT THIS CAPS THEM ALL

[@sudaev]

Speaking of caps...

[@ccdg1066]

One of the best renditions - top 5 - and probably my favorite for now. The arrangement and the banjo's humble instrumental, the backing chorus and of course Judith's unbeatable voice. Makes me happy!!

[@bosbro742]

Oh God...I ve never heard her sing this...

[@TerryHarrisontbh]

Wow, I was not aware that these guys had ever recorded this great song. Wonderful.

[@LawrenceProbes]

Inspiring. Such a beautiful voice.

[@Chooselifealways51]

OH ...........HEAVENLY!!!!!!

[@Baridan]

This is my favorite rendition of Judith and the Seekers. All the lip syncing is in its proper place. What a joy to hear her at her VERY best.

[@sliat1981]

Dan Schell lip synching is a British thing. Australia always did it live

[@TinyTimFanatic]

sliat1981 this was lip synced to their original mastered recording but if I am aware, i believe they still sang this on set

[@TinyTimFanatic]

*Synched

[@naimahurliman5173]

Beautiful

A Jamieson Smile: The "Color and Tone" of Judith Durham, the "Timbre of Gospel"! With loving eyes & heart, Jamieson (Peter)

[@tommyau2006]

unsurpassed beauty in every way

[@bazthehandyman]

If you are a singer.......study Judith for never ending clarity in everything she does.

[@collette333]

I COULD LISTEN TO THIS FOREVER

[@Baridan]

Of all her renditions this is my favorite...video is well synchronized with her voice

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan. GOD---That voice. Vaguely remember seeing Judy live in some Trad Jazz club in Melbourne,Australia & then of course she was dynamic.

[@caseyjonessnr1200]

RIP Judith.

[@martino7465]

Impossible to better

[@SaveMagnusHouse]

That was perfection

[@iowa61]

Very, very much alive and occasionally performing in Australia, her voice (and charm) better than ever.

[@22davidnew]

Yes indeed the one who created everything wants to personally know you............. and me. It cannot get any better than that!

[@hunterwood3068]

The diamond that the Seekers searched for, and found.

[@alexanderkomosa2254]

The crackly quality of the recording adds to the song

[@Markylah_isUWU]

I love Judith Durham

[@RKoerntjes]

Brilliant. Another great rendition of this song is by Mahalia Jackson. It's on the tube somewhere too.

[@hansvanpelt2680]

This reminds me of a hit called heaven must be missing an angel; i think the name of that angel was Judith Durham !!!

[@marilynwoolford-chandler1161]

Extraordinary lighting ....have to watch it again to really take on board

[@23jariel]

Nádherný, nejlepší verze.

[@fred1barb]

She may not have had the voice for opera, but by god she could belt out a tune.

[@HenriHattar]

They are called popular singers because operah singers cannot sound like this!

[@fred1barb]

@@HenriHattar I recalleading or hearing that at some early age she or her family thought she might make a career in opera. Lucky for all that she did not cling to that idea.

[@bazthehandyman]

@sechziger60 ....you are spot on my friend.......no finer singer,that's a fact.

[@mathew1613]

PERMACORPORAL IMPRESSIONS.

[@minnowpd]

Holy moly! tHIS IS SURELY IT!

[@supremes1964]

AMAZING! woo hooo!

[@misterdakman]

thanks to dazbluey for posting this song back in July - I listened to it regularly prior to that and then all of a sudden it disappeared with some of my other favorites.

[@rdvqc]

Too lazy to go down and dig but this was on one of my old Seekers albums from the 60's

[@bazthehandyman]

@1953jamesh ....you are spot on there.

[@stephaniebarr507]

Soooooo Goood.

[@szent47]

Judith a szokásos módon remekel most is !!!

[@abberationify]

Truly a beautiful lady with an absolutely magical voice, a voice which kept pure and strong through the decades. Compare this early rendition with a much later live performance from their "Carnival of Hits" tour of Australia in 2000. A remarkable voice indeed! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3_SkquboJqJqLM

[@chip11sheff]

@peterbalchin sad that some people cannot recognise good music when they hear it. Go back to your rubbish and leave those who appreciate the beauty of Judith's voice to enjoy it in peace

[@iowa61]

@BertHigginbottom You're in for a treat. Judith and the Boys sound better than ever...

[@hedwegg]

A Jamieson Reflection: Judith 1966! "As I walk let me walk close to thee, dear Lord." A Jamieson Note: To walk in (1) "loving kindness", to walk in (2) "love" and to walk with (3) "a sound mind" is to walk with the Lord. These are the Key Traits of Charity. "None but thee." Just a closer walk with thee." Let it be, dear Lord, O! Let it be." May Judith Walk in the Comfort of the Lord, forever, Amen. With loving eyes & heart, Jamieson (Peter)

[@HenriHattar]

Death visits us all abd maybe there is no such thing as a soul, this woman's work will last a while.

[@khaiserfan]

Yes i agree the only other versioni like as much is the Patsy Cline version, ...was brought up with the seekers music and still like t 2 this day.....

RIP Judith

[@sliat1981]

yes

[@EarlJohn61]

Under-orchestrated, and suitably so) with just a banjo to provide rhythm, beat & melody. But I also note Judith's "Boys" weren't playing... the banjo was off stage!!!

[@staporinac]

I think that this version is pretty good.

[@roscoeroscoe69]

Great is she still alie?

[@marilynwoolford-chandler1161]

Surely I didn't just imagine the figure in the background in collar and tie which faded into the sort ofchurchystructure Heaven's Imust have been on magic mushrooms looking at Athol....

If you didn't know there names let me introduce you Judith Durham Keith POTGER Bruce woodley and Athol guy

[@stewgilb]

[@peterbalchin]

This is terrible music. I just feel like having a Simon (Cowell) Movement. So much better I think?

[@gregbuckenara8063]

You probably wouldn't know Music if you tripped over it Pete.This is won of the GREATEST Gospel songs of All Time.And without a DOUBT The finest Rendition of this song EVER recorded.So pull your head out of your Arse and Appreciate Proper MUSIC.
